Abstract:
The basic principles of simulation are introduced with emphasis on the simulation of discrete events. The construction, verification and validation of the simulation program are addressed. Time management along with appropriate techniques and data structures for event generation and event list implementation (list, tree, heap, etc.) are discussed. Measurement collection techniques are described as well as techniques for transient phenomenon removal during program execution. The various termination criteria and related techniques for the statistical analysis of results and the calculation of confidence intervals with estimation of variance (independent replications, batch means, regenerative method) are treated. The main techniques for variance reduction are presented. Examples of simulation programs are given and some of the most important simulation languages are described.
